Yes, you can get Corestone with Drills. I don't know why you're not getting it if you're down at the bottom of T2 Dirt, though. There's a small chance to get Corestone if you hand mine with a shovel, but Corestone should occur especially if you're underground. Mostly, that limitation is for Cloutium. Which Claim Site are you working and how many T2 Miners are you using?!?

That looks like a Shard Vein to the right of the image, and I'm not completely sure about the Vein in the upper center, as the image is not clear enough for me. That means that Miners working Dirt inside a Vein location will get a significantly higher occurrence of that type of Ore. If you can identify what the Vein is in the upper center, I might suggest placing some Dirt there and getting a Miner in place. Other than that, I see no reason why you shouldn't get at least occasional Corestone.

As to the Mine, it looks like you've got 4 Miners, with room to add more, feeding to a Havester that leads directly to a Sorter setup with Gold, Shard, Iron, and Cloutium Smelters. That appears to continue to a Polisher Hook that feeds to Gem Compressors, I believe. A perfectly legit setup. The main difference that I'd make, if it was my Mine Site would be to shrink the space that contains the equipment to the bare minimum, to minimize the time that a piece of Ore or a Gem takes to get into a Smelter or Gem Compressor. While the quantity of Items that you're placing on the Conveyor is not high, think of what will happen when you have 10 times as many Miners in your Mine...

Each Mine only NEEDS a single Havester, but needs space for the Miners. Those Miners must feed into the Harvester, and then the Harvested Item needs to get to it's destination. Build your Mine in whatever pattern and layout you like, but a busy Mine needs to be efficient, as the Dirt, Raw Ore, Raw Gems, and Polished Gems will place an increasing load on the GPU...

EDIT: At a guess, I'm thinking you're using the Claim at South Hope?!?

I figured it out. I went down to tier 2 dirt but the first level still counts as tier 1 so had to go down 1 more. Getting plenty of it now.

Also the other vein was iron. Anyway to make them not float in the sky after clear all the land?

Nope, they are where they are. They cannot be moved, but if you place Dirt inside that "cloud" and Miners on that Dirt, you'll get more Iron Ore out of that Dirt than normal (as if one needs much more Iron when they're running 130 - 150 x T3 Miners in T3 Dirt...).
